Vitiligo Diet — Best Food for Vitiligo

Ayurvedic perspective of vitiligo

In Ayurveda, vitiligo is known as ‘shwitra rog’, which occurs when there is an aggravation of pitta dosha in the body. Pitta dosha symbolises heat (fire) and is manifested in the skin along with other organs. Pitta is of five types and out of them; bhajrak pitta is responsible for causing vitiligo. Bhajrak pitta leads to the formation of ama (toxins) which consequently affects deeper tissues of the body such as rakta (blood), rasa dhatu (nutrient from food), lasika (lymph) and mamsa (muscles). It causes depigmentation of the skin, resulting in loss of skin tone, white patches on the skin, and premature greying of hair.

To arrest the progression of the disease, avoid having pitta-aggravating food items like tea, coffee, alcohol, spicy foods, pickle, etc. Avoid having incompatible food items together, for example, non-veg and milk, fish and non-veg, citrus fruits and milk, etc. There are no specific foods that can treat or prevent vitiligo. On consulting the Ayurvedic doctor, you will get a customised diet plan as per your individual prakriti (body constitution) and disease condition.

Your Diet Chart For Psoriasis

Relationship Between Psoriasis and Diet

Psoriasis skin disease can be caused by a variety of reasons such as heredity, consumption of opposite foods (like fish and milk together), skin injuries, excessive intake of smoking and alcohol, mental stress or psychological trauma. It can also reflect an imbalance in the doshas, especially vata dosha and kapha dosha. Vata dosha contributes to the scaling and dryness of the skin. Kapha dosha leads to itching, burning sensation and rapid cell multiplication of the skin. The imbalance between these two doshas leads to toxin accumulation in the body thereby causing inflammation and imbalance. What you consume as food has a direct relationship with your dosha type. For e.g. if your kapha is high and imbalanced, you need to consume kapha pacifying foods otherwise kapha aggravation may increase the disease symptoms. This is why Ayurveda takes a holistic approach in treating psoriasis skin disease. It not only corrects the disease symptoms but also focuses on balancing the doshas, purifying the blood and removing toxins from the body. It helps bring lost balance and improve the immune system of the body. This makes following an appropriate psoriasis diet chart and lifestyle plan necessary for psoriasis patients.

Things To Keep In Mind For A Psoriasis Diet

· Avoid consuming virudha ahara (incompatible food items), e.g. milk and fruits together. Regular consumption of such foods may aggravate or create an imbalance in the doshas that leads to various illnesses in the body.

· Avoid consuming foods that aggravate kapha and vata doshas.

· Old cereals, green leafy vegetables and bitter vegetables like karela are beneficial to consume.

· Avoid eating foods that are excessively salty, sweet, sour or pungent in taste.
